You may be surprised to learn that James’ brilliant humor and willingness to speak truth to power didn’t work out so well for him at Microsoft. He’s at Harvard

He’s at Harvard now, which I think is a step up from Hollywood.
- ggm 4y agoI wasn't entirely surprised when I read your response, although I didn't know that. I sort-of suspected somebody that entertainingly frank would have to confront some PR positioning issues. Harvard has other fish to fry. They'll get to James when they're on top of the other stuff I guess. They let him publish https://mickens.seas.harvard.edu/wisdom-james-mickens https://mickens.seas.harvard.edu/wisdom-james-mickens which is a good sign!
- jaybeavers 4y agoYou think his writing is a good time, you should have seen him when a VP would say, “Are there any questions from the audience?” He’d saunter up to the microphone, and you could see the VP’s face droop… Good times, my man. Good times.
